Linda Briskin’s introductory article about the themes in women’s organizing in Sweden and Canada is an excellent overview of the dilemmas presented by the differences of insider vs. outsider organizing in the women’s movement. The chapter is nicely complemented by the tightly packaged overview of women’s organizing and state initiatives in Sweden and Canada by Christina Bergqvist and Sue Findlay.
